We have an ad-hoc network to support our trackers over the course area. I have been turning my attention toward broader use of the info.

For insurance purposes, the bike club provides the cars and drivers. The radio op rides shotgun, using a Go-Box that has battery assist so that the cigarette lighter adapter isn't doing the heavy TX lifting and can be shared for other uses.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1439309453962_375366"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1439309453962_375356">I'd like to have simple, non-transmitting display setup so that the operator can "look" around the course as he has need. I'm not sure where to start looking for commercial solutions, if there are any at all. I also have been wondering, given the abundance of R-PI hardware, if a R-PI and display would be enough to run something like YACC. A simple RX and antenna would be enough, and the package could be small enough to occupy little of the precious space in the vehicle and not pose a safety issue. Even nicer if it could be on the dash.</div><div><br></div><div>So, what do you folks know?
